Azizi Hotak Group

Kabul head quartered Azizi Hotak Group forms an important part of the energy portfolio of the Azizi Group. Starting as a commodity trading business in Kazakhstan, it soon branched out into this sector and established its presence as a leader in the region. It boasts a robust repertoire of filling and storage facilities that meet the oil and gas requirements of the area. A veritable pioneer, the organization was the first to open doors to easy access to energy requirements of the fragile nation. Recognizing the importance of the energy sector as a critical building block of any economy, the company moved its operations from the neighboring Kazakhstan to its present day location of Kabul, in the home country of the founders. The company had a vision to bring global expertise to the now re-emerging nation by leveraging its team's knowledge and understanding of the local dynamics.
In March 2004, Azizi Hotak constructed 350 modern and technologically superior filling stations all over Afghanistan at an investment of USD $400 million. Subsequently, Azizi Hotak built a LPG storage tanker with a capacity of 5,000 metric tons at a cost of USD $20 million in Hairaton, near the Afghanistan border. A second LPG storage with 100,000 metric ton capacity was built in Kabul at a cost of USD $20 million in 2007. The company continues to grow with various interests in the cities of Almaty, Pavlodar, Petropavl and Shimkent in Kazakhstan.
